Description

An office manager is someone who is responsible for organizing all of the administrative activities that facilitate the smooth running of an office. They must be skilled at supervising other employees in a fair, consistent manner.

Responsibilities typically include:

typing, and dealing with correspondence, complaints and queries

preparing letters, presentations and reports

supervising and monitoring the work of secretarial, clerical and administrative staff

managing office budgets

delegating tasks to junior employees

organizing induction programmes for new employees

ensuring that health and safety policies are up to date

attending meetings with senior management

In a small organisation you may carry out most of the tasks yourself, while at larger organisations you could supervise the work of a team. You'll typically work a 35-hour week and start with a salary of $25,000 a year up to a $55,000 yearly.

Office managers are employed across the board in the public, private, and charity sectors. In short, they're employed by any organisation that runs an office, from small businesses to public bodies and multinational corporations.
